that 'several Italians had gathered at

was the custom of theso people on Sundays , aud that a quarrel arose between
Cozza and auolher Italian by the -name
of Krank Amandin.    Tliecftiise of the
quanol 'does  not as yet seem to be
diiHiiiuly settled biit tho parties went
outside of thu store where Amandia,
after, .Bcuilling with Coz*/*a drew a gun
and fired three shots ut him as he was
running away, following after him he
overtook him whero' ho had fallen to
the ground, and grappling with hiin he
fired. two moie' shots, the last of which
entered the back of the head and ranged
upward toward' the front of,, the head,

The Roscian 0pera Company's presentation of Sousii's-El Capitan last
Thursday night-'wuf, so far as the
company waa.concerned, a very pleasant musical entertainment.'' ■ .   „
Sousa|s comic opera scores will not
stand loo' close" comparison- with
those ofGilbeft and SulHvin, but
nevertheless, they are very-catchy and
sparkling,'while the dialogue and the
old Spanish colonial setting of the piece
makes ot El Capitan * a very popular
production. - -   ^ ' y ■
The choruses, and,marches were extremely well rendered-showing careful
training by Mr. Hosmer.,the able   musical director of-the- company    This
gentleman bus directed operas in  that
famous musical center,   Zurich,   and
was also director for Madame Scliuman
Hcinke, when she) toured continental
Europe in Grand Opera.   To" a close
observer' Mr. Hosmer's complete con-
^trol oMiis company ..was very   evident.
Lucia Nola, in th* leading roll of Isabel!'
proved,herself a singer of high' rank.
She is tbe possessor of a very clear,"
sweet voice, which won fcr lier a well
deserved encore for her very'touching
rendition of the solo, in the Boon. song.
Miss Eflie George,has* a surprisingly
mellow voice .when- confined to a low
register, but shows signs of- wavering
when she attempts -high Writes. '.Miss
Hazel Davenport,-jtsEstrelda, supplied
the bubbling vivacity necessary to balance the drolleries of Claud  Amsden,
and kept the audience in as good humor with her as sbe'evidently was with
herself." Every,act.A-very note, in  her
part was rendered .will) ra spirit  that
was infectious.  . Mr. Amsden, as-Don
Errico and El Capitan,'-displayed wonderful ability as a-comedian.    He, has
a firm full voice, though  it was not at
all times exactly true. > Perhaps'U. was
because he tried le keep -in lune^with
the piano, used on the occasion. 7
' All together the company .was so well
balanced.and sp,\yell conducted -,that.it
is safe to say they gave, us the-best-, en-

For the information of storekeeper?

mentioned that thc Act defines adnl-

the health.

5. Such as is wholly or in part
deceased or decomposed.
(5. Such as contains ingredients
injurious to health.
7. If its strength or purity falls
below the standard, or its "constituents are not within the limits of variability llxed by the, Act or by the

The Act, however, provieies that

mother when Lewis and Clark tramped

Until Inic years I have always been

wealth in the,South in the old days.
My daughter owns our home and that

Perfumes From Coal. •
! A way has been devised of extracting from coal many of the rapid developers so widely, used by.photb:

also been discovered the perfumes
just. as fragrant as-the natural odors'
ol flowers; from which, indeed, they
cannot be distinguished by smell.
Tlie host of artificial flavors has almost completely displaced the na.tur-

Ohiistmas   Time   Approaching.
Our business houies aie beginning to
put on their Christmas clothes. Some
of the windows are very attractive and
every.day one sees new goods arranged
ii. the most faciriating manner in the
windows;. Window decorating is a fine
art and we have jn Fernie several graduated artists in that'line. In an other
week the whole street Will "have blossomed out in holiday attire and Victoria' Avenue will look like a fairy land of
Christmas goods, .awaiting delivery, of
Old Santa Claiis, The snow is here so
that the sled will slip easily over the
housetops and all that is necessary now
is the cashm the pockets of fathers,
mothers, sisters, brothers and lovers to
make a merry Christmas A great deal
of this very convenient cash will be paid
out to thevwage-earners next Saturday
and will find its" way into the pockets
